SAS 106, NYK 98: Knicks’ Valiant Effort Falls Short in San Antonio

How It Happened:
San Antonio fired on all cylinders to start the contest on Saturday night as the home team scored 61 first half points and held a 20-point lead over the visiting Knicks. Kristaps Porzingis was limited with foul trouble (4 in the first half) and New York was missing its leading scorer (Carmelo Anthony) in the lineup. The Spurs connected on 57.8 percent of their shots from the floor and 4-of-7 behind the arc in the first half to build the big advantage. However, the Knicks showed some resiliency in the third frame behind the play of Willy Hernangomez.
